Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council's Passenger Transport Service has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the transportation of students to Bramfield House School. The contract, titled "Lowestoft - Bramfield House School, Bramfield (4 seated vehicle with passenger assistant) - AWARD," falls under the industry category of transport services (excluding waste transport) with CPV code 60000000. The procurement was managed as a mini competition within the council's Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The contract, worth GBP 218,218.80, was awarded to Goldline Ltd and will commence on 13th October 2025, extending through to 31st July 2030, with Suffolk as the primary location. Clarification questions were due by 9th October 2025, with final submissions by 10th October 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those capable of providing specialised transport with passenger assistants. The long contract period, potential for contract extension, and substantial value make it an attractive option for companies in the transport sector looking to expand their clientele within the public sector. Given that the procurement process does not exclusively cater to SMEs or VCSEs, established firms with robust transport capabilities would be well-positioned to compete in similar future opportunities as Suffolk County Council continues to rely on its Dynamic Purchasing System for such services.
